Twice now, I have deliberately gone cold turkey on caffeine for a few weeks. Both times, the results were the same: 3 days lost to caffeine withdrawal headaches, followed by no noticeable differences in anything.

Also, when I got back on caffeine, I noticed nothing. And I should've been my most caffeine sensitive then. If I did a seriously huge dosage, I'd have shaky hands, but otherwise nothing. I wasn't more alert or awake or hyper or anything.

Caffeine does supposedly have Ritalin-like effects on ADHD kids, so maybe I'm ADD and don't know it.
